BMW haven’t just designed a limited edition of an already hotly anticipated car. They have started with an ethos and woven it into the very fibre of this machine. They have even stitched, and milled the distinctive meteorite pattern into the headliner, exterior mirror caps, the front splitters and even the brakes.

Meet Oscar, the brains behind Car Guy Crates. And what's more? This bloke is 17........let that sink in. When I was 17 I couldn't even figure out MySpace and this entrepreneurial fella is making our lives better one box at a time.

The excitement is back and I think it is because of two things; personality and identity. The top tier of motor racing has its individuality back. We are seeing great motoring brands reappear, in name at least, and that opens the door to general petrol heads, not just people who like to watch 75 laps of screaming V6 on a Sunday afternoon.

Aesthetically it really does look the part. Mercedes have addressed the back end, which I thought didn't really work and the front has now got that sleek, aggressive look that is becoming standard across the models.

Sitting at the top of the BMW range with the 7 series, we are looking forward to taking this out for a drive but aesthetically it certainly is very striking. The huge, dragon like nostrils are clearly evident underneath the wrappings and anyone in this thing will enjoy a good deal of road presence.
